Sorry for the newbie question. How do you run the manufacturers diagnostics on a hard drive to see if it is bad?


It depends upon the manufacturer of the hard drive. First step is to go to the manufacturer's web site - they usually have a free utilility you can download to run diagnostics. Some drives come with a floppy or CD you can use.
